Transition control
AUTO/RATE
The AUTO button will perform the selected transition at the rate specified in the 'rate' display.
The transition rate for each transition style is set in the transition palette for that style and is
displayed in the 'rate' window of the transition control block when the corresponding transition
style button is selected.
The AUTO button illuminates red for the duration of the transition and the 'rate' display updates
to indicate the number of frames remaining as the transition progresses. When you perform a
transition using the fader bar on an external ATEM hardware panel, the fader bar indicator on
the software panel updates to provide visual feedback on the progress of the transition.
